Keg @ the Holborn Whippet. 5.4% edition. The pour’s hazy deep gold with a small head. The nose is cantaloupe, cheddar cheese, sugar cookie. ,lid tropical fruit salad. A bit of pineapple. The taste is bright citrus. Orange peel. Mango fruit smoothie. A bit of pine needle. Quite sweet but clean and refreshing. Medium body, moderate carbonation on the palate. Overall, good stuff.

From bottle. Pours hazy orange with little attempt at a head. Fairly unimpressive aroma, slight lemony hop. Taste is a tad pissy, piney, citrus, lemon and orange. Another mediocre pale ale from the kernel

Bottle split with Derrick at the Beer Wharf in London. Pours a deep, hazy orange with white lacing, Aroma is bitter pine hops. Mouthfeel is smooth with notes of fresh pine hops and caramel malts well balancing the flavor out. Wow this brewery tore up my ass.F*ck YEA!

7 May 2011, bottle. rosy orange, hazy (bottle conditioned), thin lacing. nose is a nice, subtle, centennial hop. almost dry enough to think it is crushed hop leaves you are smelling. a very dry grassy and faintly citrusy hop. thin body and slightly fizzy. lightly hopped, dry grassy, mouth drying and slightly bitter. nice.

Bottle taken home from Euston Tap. Pours a lightly hazed gold, with a medium off white head. Fantastic hoppy citrus on the nose, and a well balanced hop and malt in the taste.

Shared bottle at BrewDog. Bright, hazy orange/red with a small white head. Aroma of orange peel and grapefruit, contrasts with a pretty dry, hoppy taste. Finish is long and bitter, nice puckering of the mouth. Not bad at all.
